What is the Accelerative integrated method?

The Accelerative Integrated Method (AIM) is revolutionizing the way second languages are taught. This approach – which combines the use of gestures, drama, music, storytelling and error analysis – is helping students develop a good working fluency in less than 100 hours of instruction. This 20 min DVD shows the AIM in action. For more information on this DVD contact:
